Ezra Furman & The Harpoons - Don't Turn Your Back On Love lyrics

Black hole hips she looks like some sort of insect buzzing across the floor toward me I can't think. she's looking at me with those green eyes, shining on me like floodlights way in the back of New York city she said she'd take me down to Kokomo we went to Kokomo, Indiana where she told me her real name was Diana, at the gas station. Something about her reminds me of the united states sprawling across the west and all the glory and imagination highway 25 divides the great plains from the rocky mountains and Colorado springs, coal-mining town some lady wrote America the beautiful, sitting on top of pike's peak up there looking way, way down. way, way down And I don't know how it happened but here we are on the dance floor together, after all these years and I know her real name now I know who wrote America the beautiful and I hear a voice singing in my ear saying Don't turn your back on love no, don't turn your back on love, you idiot you fool don't you do it And I mean i want to go over your house whenever you want me to come over to your house. but that's no reason to turn your back on love heartbreak is my roommate now we live together, and we share the rent we have long conversations before we go to sleep in bed at night ooh, long conversations and I can't lie, I'm on the street inside the street in New York City, or in Boston, or Chicago. whatever city I happen to be in at the time. I'm on the same street. mhm and heartbreak is my roommate Yes it's hard, of course it's hard. it's supposed to be hard. but I can still hear her voice it's calling, it's calling, calling, but it's whispering, whispering in my ear saying Don't turn your back on love no, don't turn your back on love, my love. what am I supposed to do? say no? something about her reminds me of the united states sprawling across the west in all the glory. and imagination she spans the seas and the deserts and the forests and the mountains, she brings it all back together in one big lovely package oh, baby, oh never turn my back on love not while you're around to whisper in my ear after all these years, Diana is that what is was? Don't forget me no, don't forget me. I can't forget you how could I ever forget you? oh, don't forget me. don't turn your back on love I won't turn my back on love. can't forget you how could I forget you?
